Some problems on the slope handling in the highway construction in China

In western China, with plenty of transportation infrastructures being constructed, many man-made slopes have been formed in the highway constructions along the highway routes. Fortunately, most of these man-made slopes were in middle or small scales. However, in the procedure of slope design as well...
